So, I stand by my initial statement that Debian is notthe Linux firsttimer. I would never recommend itto a noobie. WithDebian, you need to know, at least somewhat, whatyou're doing.
For mere users (no administration) Debian stable is
wonderful IMVHO.
It should also work if someone knowledgeable does the
initial install
and major upgrades and let the user do only security
updates
(update-manager or even completely automated).
I wasn't referring to Linux users, those knowledgeable, either a little
about Linux, not just nothing about Debian, almost all of whom are
Windows users, who unfortunately expect Linux to work like Windows,
I came from Win 3.1 directly to Debian (Bo, I believe) back when dpkg was the package manager. No Apt, no Aptitude, nothing GUI, just a command line and no automatic dependency resolution. It told you what was needed, but it wasn't going to get it for you.
I survived, and I am still here.
